Wasn't Lerner a member of the Steering Committee? He was certainly a member
of the Executive Committee, as I was, and one of the great things about the FSM
was that whatever the Steering Committee had to do by way of instant
decision-making, there was always an Executive Committee meeting within a day
or a week at most to okay or renounce or modify and give overall direction. The
Steering Committee members always attended and took part in those discussions
vigorously as individuals, not as a superior caucus versus the rest.
